New Hope Christian Chapel is a non-traditional, interdenominational church centered on the basics of the Christian faith. Our theology is reformed, and we have the highest respect and reverence for God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Our services and approach to ministry are designed to be a bridge “between two worlds” as John Stott described, and help to apply the truths of Scripture to the world we live in today. We value truth, practical application, honest searching, and the insight of the Holy Spirit. Our gatherings are filled with love and laughter, and our caring is extended to all who attend.

Our Values:

• A personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the basis for real life, both today and for eternity.
• Christians are meant to grow continuously in their devotion to Christ.
• The Bible, God’s Holy Word, conveys the truth about life and is a major means for us to grow as Christians.
• Life-change happens best through small group communities where discipleship and accountability occur.
• Every Christian is a minister and is called to serve others. Christ calls each of us to reach out and love the lost and hurting world around us.

As an Inter-Denominational Church we Preach and Teach:

• The Authority of Scripture: — “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 [show] All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (ESV)
  
• The Lord Jesus Christ — “That Christ died…(1 Corinthians 15:3,4 [show] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, (ESV) that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, (ESV)
  ) was buried…and was raised on the third day.”
• The New Birth — “Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3 [show] Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." (ESV)
  
• Forgiveness of All Sin — “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” Ephesians 1:7 [show] In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, (ESV)
  
• Eternal Life — “I give them eternal life and they shall never perish.” John 10:28 [show] I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (ESV)
  
• Power to Live a Victorious Life — “Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ…” 2 Corinthians 2:14 [show] But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. (ESV)
  
• Hope for the Future — “…while we wait for the blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13 [show] waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, (ESV)
  

Our Relationship to Other Churches:

We are an independent, interdenominational church, guided by a Board of Elders. We are not affiliated with any one particular denomination. We are, however, a member of Vision New England and work with other community churches to share in our common faith and vision to bring the message of Christ to the world.
